Cut the bacon slices in half first — a full slice is too much and won't get crispy.
How to make it
- Heat the oven. Set it to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Make the filling. Stir the cream cheese and cheddar together in a bowl until mixed.
- Stuff them. Spoon the cheese mix into each jalapeño half, filling them full.
- Wrap in bacon. Wrap a half-slice of bacon around each one and poke a toothpick through to hold it.
- Bake. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon is crispy. Cool 5 minutes before eating — the filling is lava-hot.
